Women Cooks.

But few women are engaged as cooks,
except in very small hotels. They are
not competent. A woman cook will
scarcely ever make one thing twice alike
They take too many chances, trust too
much to luck, and in consequence fail re
peatedly. They hardly ever prepare their
dishes according to any fixed rule as to
the weight or measurement of the ngredi
ents. On the contrary they are disposed
to lump things: About teaspoonful Of
this, cupful of that, and when Gear done
stir in little SEASONING" They pay nc
attention to the size of the teaspoon or the
cup, and insert the seasoning when and
where ii may please their fancy to do so
Now man cook works quite to the con.
trary; every ingredient he uses is as &C.
curately measured and weighed as drug
gist's prescription, and the mixing and
cooking of the same are calculated and
timed as carefully as the hours allotted by
the doctor for the patients medicine
Even the purity and character of the good:
are inquired into. Nothing is LETT to
chance. and hence there are no failures te
be followed by that feminine excuse. 81
don't see why it is l should have such
luck. l don't understand it."-Al Hote

Misadventure of a Bridal Couple.

A newly married pair, who arrived on their
honeymoon trip at celebrated Scotch water
ipg-place when accommodations were at
premium, had a mattress spread for thea by
compassionate innkeeper in one of his bath
rooms. In the middle of the night the house
was alarmed by loud shrieks proceeding from
the nuptial chamber What was the matter?
Well, this The young bride. wishing to ring
for q servant, had caught hold of what she sup
posed to be the beli-rope and pulled it smartly
Unhappily for her and her spouse, it was the
cord of the shower bath over their heads, and
forthwith down plunged such a deluge of cold
water as would throw a damper upon the most
devoted honey-makipg couples. Her hus-
band. in dismay, caught frantically at another
cord on bis side of the extemporized couch,
but the only response was an equally liberal
deluge of water, this time nearly boiling hot
The unhappy pair then screamed in unison
When the servants came they found the floor
of the room flooded with water, and the wife
was perched like a monkey on her husbands
back, uttering the most lamentable cries,
while her good man was fumbling about in
the dark trying bis best to fnd the door,

How to Cool a Cellar.
(Tc be continued }

A great mistake is sometimes made in
ventilating cellars and milk houses. The
object of ventilation is to keep the cellars
cool and dry, but this object often fails of
being accomplished by common mis-
take, and instead the cellar is both warm
and damp. A cool place should never be
ventilated, unless the air admitted is
cooler than the air within, or is at least as
cool as that, or very little warmer. The
warmer the air, the more moisture it holds
in suspension. Necessarily, the cooler
the air, the more this moisture is con-
densed and precipitated. When a cool
cellar is aired on warm day, the enter
ing air being in motion appears cool, but
as it fills the cellar the cooler air with
which it becomes mixed chills it, the
moisture is condensed, and the dew is de-
posted on the cold walls, and may
often be seen running down them
in streams. Then the cellar IS damp,
and soon becomes mouldy. To avoid this,
the windows should only be opened al
night, and late,-the last thing before re-
firing. There is no need to fear that the
night air is unbealthful, it is as pure as
the air of midday, and is really drier
The cool air enters the apartment during
the night, and circulates through it. The
windows should be closed before sunrise
in the morning. and kept closed and shad
ed through the day. If the air of the
cellar is damp. it may be thoroughly dried
by placing in it peck of fresh lime in ar
open box. A peck of lime will absort
about seven pounds or more than three
quarts of water, and in this way a cellar
or milk room may soon be dried, ever
in the hottest weather.

about the liquid part OF their breakfast,
and leave the table without it. | have
known men who scarcely ever touched a
drop of liquid of any kind from one

eggs, or beefsteak or underdone chop,
with boiled eggs to follow, and then a
cup of tea, is a sensible breakfast for a

wants of thirsty travellers In one of his
hunting excursions he camped out at the
foot of the Broad mountain at a spot
where coal vein cropped out, and upon
lighting fire was astonished at the in
tense heat it threw off. He also saw that
some of the black stone had become red
hot. He dug some of it and carried,it
home, when his wife, more practical than
himself, pronounced it coal
They saw the coal crop out in album

be realized out Of it flashed through their
minds simultaneously. So, disposing of
their effects, they loaded two large COW

Philadelphia with the intention of mar

value. They drove along the banks of the

night. AT POttstoWn three of their horses
